“Everyone is welcome to come along and find out more about the play and how they can get involved.

“We are looking forward to all types of community involvement from local schools to community groups to explore questions in the play such as its relationship to the culture of Renaissance Scotland and the nature of historical heritage in contemporary society.”

A Satire of the Three Estates is a comic and epic masterpiece of Scottish literature which was performed in 1552 and 1554.

The performances of the play in June 2013 are part of a two year project run by Edinburgh, Oxford Brookes, Southampton and Glasgow Universities with support from Historic Scotland.
